Of all the Jim and Pams (or whoever that is of your generation), which TV couple do you think is the most insufferable?

I love sitcoms. However, I absolutely hate this trope. I’ve seen it in The Office. I’ve seen it in Brooklyn Nine Nine, Superstore, Parks and Rec. Wait, are these the same show?

Some have done a wonderful spin on it like 30 Rock’s Jack and Liz (spoiler: Liz would rather do it with her third cousin than Jack), Mythic Quests, Ian and Poppy, Fleabag, etc.

Others are falling into it for the mass appeal like Abbot Elementary.
